Sect. 4 Having thus stated the Original and Foundation of the Church, in its Faith, Profession, Order and Worship, he farther acquaints them, that the same Spirit is likewise the Author of all those Gifts, whereby it was to be built up and established, and whereby the Profession of it might be enlarged; V. 4.
